Which Best Buy Stores Are Closing?

Best Buy has announced its final closure plans for some 50 big-box retail locations across the United States, and two of those closing are in Georgia.

The company previously disclosed the locations of eight stores -- in Kansas City; Scotsdale, Ariz.; San Antonio, Texas; and the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.) -- that were closing.

Now, the plans for the remaining 42 stores are finalized, and officials notified affected stores and employees Saturday morning, according to press release sent April 14. The number of employees affected was not released.

Two Georgia stores -- in and Fayetteville -- are among those closing.

Most of the stores are expected to close by May 12, according to Best Buy officials.

"This was not an easy decision to make," officials said in a press statement. "We chose these stores carefully, and are working to ensure the impact to our employees will be as minimal as possible, while serving all customers in a convenient and satisfying way.

"But we also recognize the impact this news has on the people who deserve respect for the contributions they have made to our business.

We will be working to help these employees find other positions inside Best Buy. If they don’t find new positions, or if they choose not to work at a different location, a transition including severance packages will be available."

To process the news, most of the 42 stores slated for closure are not open today, and will re-open on Sunday, April 15.
